Glenn A Black Laboratory of Archaeology

Geoarchaeology and Geophysics Research and Applications

Over the past few decades, the Glenn Black Laboratory has developed considerable expertise in the application of geoarchaeological and geophysical methods to solving archaeological problems, believing that the integration of archaeology, earth science, and information processing represents a critical new direction for American archaeology.  This multidisplinary approach to archaeological research continues the mission of the GBL to lead Indiana archaeology by pioneering innovative and visionary prehistoric research directions.  With the current personnel, background and institutional experience, the GBL is one of the leaders in applying earth science and geophysics methods and practices to archaeological research.  The GBL now offers these services to the public and Cultural Resources Management (CRM) firms to aid in protecting our cultural heritage.  From the standpoint of applied archaeology, the GBL has one of the most extensive equipment lists, including drilling, coring, and sophisticated geophysical instruments in all of the CRM industry and, more importantly, also has the expertise and experience to efficiently and effectively use that equipment in applied archaeological studies.  Please contact G. William Monaghan for more information on how geoarchaeology or geophysical techniques can be integrated with specific archaeological projects.
